Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

System was a fresh install of 8.10, followed by an upgrade to 9.04. The KDE printer configuration in the system settings prints out several sentences that cannot be grabbed from the screen, so I cannot paste them here. Why is that?

With typos:
-----------------------------------
The service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'system-config-printer-kde/kcm-scpk.py'The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.

Possible reasons:
    * An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving An orphaned control module
    * You have old third party modules lying around

Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.
------------------------------------

This message is not very helpful. Remove what module? Is a module the same as a package? If not, what is it, and where do I find it?
